Opinion – Juca Kfouri: The wolf of man thrashes humanity in stadiums, in studios, around the world

Now it was Mexico, that country in Latin America, where the Aztecs were decimated by the Europeans.

To show themselves more macho than the Bahians who threw bombs on the Bahia bus, or the gauchos who stoned the Grêmio bus, or the people from Paraná who invaded the pitch to attack the Paraná team, or the Pernambuco people who attacked the players from Náutico, or the people from São Paulo who ambushed the São Paulo delegation on the way to Morumbi and those who, years ago, took the Corinthians training center by storm, Atlas and Querétaro fans smeared blood in barbaric scenes on the lawn and the stands at Corregidora Stadium.

The horror experienced by those who just wanted to see a football match reproduced the scenes of the war in Ukraine where Russian soldiers slaughter civilians who also not so long ago, in 2014, massacred anti-fascist protesters in Odessa with more than 40 dead burned by the fire caused in the House. of the Unions.

Meanwhile, TV studios take sides and Manichaeism reigns in the information war, with cynical lies on both sides.

“Man is the wolf of man” is the famous phrase by the English philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) and century after century, with rudimentary weapons or state-of-the-art technology, humanity strives to prove how right is the maxim originally of the playwright Roman Platus, in Latin, homo homini lupus.

In the space reserved for commenting on the healthy fighting spirit of the tricolors at Majestoso, which resulted in São Paulo’s sixth victory, in nine unbeaten games, against Corinthians at Morumbi, how can we ignore the Dantesque scenes in Querétero?

Or not to mention that, although after the derby with a single crowd, 40 thousand fans under the sun and hailstorm, it took place peacefully, outside the stadium, at the Primavera-Interlagos train station, fans of the two clubs have staged new fights?

The hero of the classic, Argentine Jonathan Calleri, by the way, knows what violence is, attacked on the field in 2016, after São Paulo eliminated The Strongest of Libertadores in, ironically, La Paz.

We naturalized stupidity to such an extent that almost 500,000 São Paulo voters were able to elect this Arthur do Val, with h only in his name, because he has nothing to do with a man, the day before yesterday a bolsonarista, yesterday with Doria, today with Moro, always an animal.

That’s why I apologize to the rare reader and the rare reader, especially if you are tricolor, for not giving due space to the victory over the rival of a new coach and old problems.

Still impacted by the documentary “Elza&Mané, Amor em Linhas Tortas”, by the scenes of Mexican barbarism, by the fear of the fire at the Zaporijia atomic plant, and “with ashes filling the atmosphere, blocking our sun (…) the end of this desmundo is not in sight”, as the enlightened journalist Dorrit Harazin wrote, there is no Majestic, Fla-Flu, Grêmio-Nal, to console.

Even Neymar, soon he, the king of pranks, pushed a rival of Nice in the defeat of PSG because, imagine, the striker Gouiri gave a reel to celebrate the victory of his team.

We lost the war.

Pacifists like the Indian Mahatma Gandhi, the American Martin Luther King and the South African Nelson Mandela are the losers who would be proud not to be among the victors.
